I would think it would be something like mono-opticular, if that's what you mean. I can't think of any animals that naturally have one eye, as almost every animal is symmetrical. They could get an infection in their eye or attacked by a predator, which would result in the loss of an eye. The tuatara, a lizard-like living fossil from the time of the dinosaurs that lives in New Zealand has a third pineal eye on the top of its head, but it can only detect light an darkness.
In Greek mythology there are giant humans with one eye they are called cyclopses (plural) cyclops (singular)

What is it called when an animal has eyes on the side of their head?
When an animal's eyes are positioned on the sides of its head, this is called monocular vision. This gives the animal the ability to see two objects at once. It is seen in animal species that tend to be prey of other species.Monocular vision is different from binocular vision, in which the eyes are positioned on the front if the head. Binocular vision is seen in predatory species, as it gives these animals greater depth perception and better ability to track their prey.
